Letters Fron THE CITIZENS LEAGUE K . " ; Editor Intelligencer: I cannot refuse your request' to write something in favor Of tho organ- j izatipn o? a league of citizens to co-] uyerate with thc city ami county I legal authorities In (he enforcement of law and order, although quito busy and therefore uuuhlo to go carefully into detallo at this time. I see so clearly tho wonderful work that can be accomplished that I must at, least'point out a few things that' can bo done through such au organi sation If managed wisely and in rea!, earnest. . If you will think for a moment, you wilt agree that ?he law as now ad ministered ts but a crude instrument of doubtful efficiency in tho protection of society. Cities aro prohibited from, inflicting.in execess of a $100 Ano or 30 dnys imprisonment in each caso and every offender huB his choice be : tween the Are and imprisonment. This is the only punishing weapon Ander ' son has today, thc only rod the city can use to correct the wayward and in corrigible. Then wo know that punishment is; not always effective. That some child ren aro not kept in the right way no. ; matter how severely you lay on the rod. This in true of offenders against , our laws and yet under the present' . system those of us who are fighting ;v'- hard : tb rem?mbor that off enders against the law are human beings as, ? well as Inw-breakers, that they.ore all' somebody's sons arid somebody's child ren, nnd'that we have no adequate way : to, give thom "another chanco?", I to try our kindness, probation.'and, 1 othor methods dictated by our con sciences and religious teachings? ? ; ar.;-- ,.W$... need ' ' vol tip toe r probation ?ffl-; ri-cors, ,We need tho man who will como; jg forward - ahd take the responsibility' &/of looking;after :a human being who, - professes ropontuhco. The bi? bus!-' i ness man,: tho bankor- the merchant, P. tho .lawyer, who will accept tho uuperv .. vising care bf a boy who moy now be W brought ba?k into tho right' path bul t; if left alftnoi if-turned looao to -go. ; back to1 lils old environment, will in j tho y?arM 't?^c^m.? probably^ c?st' yena I/tim? and perhaps tho destrncr^ tion of'your' boy an dm|ne, through hin operatfbns as a',blind*tlgei4,/ bind a "professional lawrbfeakor." . Did Myers start no a blind tinier? What waa he as a toy? Who'helped , te'''straighten'hun out?" Whtt coin ' inanity t?ld. ita duty hy him'or failed to do its duty? . Mr- Cotton Mill President, Mr.. : Banker,. Mr. Merchant, Mr.!-}Profes-, . si?ngf.Man (to Uso the excellent fl?uro> \ of: personification so. effectively util-, ?.; Ized by The Intelligencer) what, do ; R yoa know'or did you know about yo't?r* city crlmlfml court /before this cr?/?, |( sad oby gani ... .'/.-'.*'>'..<. Dd; you: know, that hoya "in their,/ KtcenB ./aro brought there practically.< bovary week and that your thoughtful,-. i The People able and Christian Recorder and your ? imperfect but willing city attorney are groping In the shadows for ways and means to save them! What are we to do with them? "Give them hell", ns one thoughtless cl?lzen suggested. Experience teaches thai with boys at ; iv?a!tt. mid frequently with men, the hell of convict stripes usually results in a worse boy and more trouble through him for thc community, for yon and mo, for your children and mine. Prevention is now the dominant effort of medical science and lt is tho best weapon in this community to heep your city "cleo?'^ and to minim izo thc temptations for your sons and I (laughters. Who wore Myers' most profitable patrons? Boys or young men who by birth and business standing had or could get money to spend In his "hole." Myers han gone and that particu lar evil placo closed for a time but are there no others, now mero boya, who will take Myers' place unless we do something effective, unless we per sistently, habitually and intelligently Uso our money, our time and our brains to proven! tho growth and de velopment of those mero boys Into dangerous mon like Myers! I What han this to do with a citizens organization, you ask. This is tbo vital, fundamental work for such an | organization and if wo fail to do it ' wo aro partly and greatly responsible foi' every evil that exists herc in fu ture, j I have a photograph of a boy in my desk whore. I am now writing and when I look at lt., and seo thu pride and hope in this boy's eyes and then think and remember him as he was in our city about a. year ago-a dirty, hopeless tramp, at eighteen, with tho brand'of the convict upon him,' com ing to mo in rags because I gave him a littles human sympathy, because I sat upon a dirty blanket in his cell ; and ? talked to him and then look him ont i without other bond than "his word of j honor" to como to see me at my office, when I remember that he came, when , I remember how tho community in a souBo turned its back upon him, when I remember the pitiful hurt in hin dog-like, eyes when' a busy, thought loss man refused him work with the .brutal remark: We.havo enough dam ped convicta hore now," when ? re member how I could get no help from ; his father, himself a drunkard, when I remember when it seemed ho must drift hack to the old ways and there Avar* no way out tor him and God Al mighty pointed out a way through tho discipline of the .United States Army, ?when I romembor these things, men women und children of my city, do .you wonder that 1 long to ponr out j my heart to my people, to my city, to my. friends and that I now cry out for .tho wonderful holp, tho wonderful aid of your time, your money, your splen did brains and exhauatloss sympathy? ''. This ia tho hour for a great awaken lng, thc hour to bury petty differences of opln<on UH to incthodB and means, the hour (o sacrifice Individual prlrl* lege.?* for tho common good, tho hour for extremists and llbcraliats to meet on a common plane without bitter ness but with the determination that eaci> man or woman will make a sac rifice of privilege, If not of principle, in order that the community at largo bo permanently bettered In things that, count most for real prosperity and happiness. Thoro are other things such an or ganization can do now. For example, the hanks of tho city can and 1 believe they will, aid us in breaking up the, traffic in liquors by refusing to handle liquor drafts to well known "blind tigers." Ono of them han already vol untarily stopped handling suci drafts. The railroads of the city, tho express company, cnn be of great assistance and I believe will be if the matter Is properly presented to them. Such things as a citizens organiza tion can handle much moro effectively than city authorities who are burden ed with so many phases of the work. No matter bow vigilant tho city ad ministration, however determined, persistent and effective in the execu tion of laws, thoro is always an Im mense work tor the citizens at large. Without such co-operation permanent results aro impossible anywhere. I apologize most humbly for this long communication, but I couldn't Btop. very truly* O. CULLEN SULLIVAN.
